Our group is studying hunger in the United States. Hunger is a fast growing problem in our country. Over 48 million people are food insecure in the United States and 1 out of every 7 people have to rely on soup kitchens, food pantries and federal assistance to feed their families. People may think that our country has a “food shortage,” but really, around 40% of all of the food that is being produced/grown in the U.S., is wasted. Our group has been volunteering at numerous soup kitchens and food pantries and we have have been learning from many different organizations who are trying to put a stop to hunger.
